"I wanted to move my piano into climate-controlled storage while I was having new flooring installed in my home, so I found Johnson’s Piano Moving based on their excellent online reviews. Ted from Johnson’s worked with me to have my piano moved into their climate-controlled storage for a week during the installation. My house has a side entrance which made the move pretty challenging, but the excellent crews who moved the piano out and back in were very creative in accommodating the challenge with the front door and they took great care not to damage my railings on the stoop. I highly recommend Johnson’s Piano Moving!"

"There aren’t enough words for me to share how much I appreciate and recommend Potomac Moving. This is the first moving company in the DMV that has done a move correctly for us - professional, prompt, considerate, careful, hard working, and with great communication. West, Rob, John, Antonio, and Dimitri were THE BEST team to help us on a stressful day. Their positive attitude and friendliness helped immensely. Prior to the move, Stephanie was very patient as we figured out the logistics and Jeff was great at confirming prior to the move. I would recommend them to anyone looking to move locally. We are very happy and thankful that we found them."

"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"Victor, Dani and Isaac did an amazing job moving our 5 bed room home. Everything was packaged, labeled and transported without incident. The men was quick and efficient and very friendly. They took all of the thinking and worry out of the move for my wife and I."

"I had an excellent experience with Haul Bros Moving! Their pricing was completely transparent from the start, with no hidden fees or surprises, which made the entire process stress-free. The team was incredibly professional, efficient, and respectful of my belongings. What stood out most was how friendly and accommodating they were throughout the move. They took the time to place each item exactly where I wanted it in the appropriate rooms, making unpacking so much easier. Their attention to detail, positive attitude, and outstanding customer service truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Haul Bros Moving to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and professional moving company. Thank you for making my move such a smooth and pleasant experience!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

You should transfer utilities at least two weeks before your final move-out date. It is best to schedule the turning off of all utilities 24 hours after your move. Doing so will ensure a smooth transition without any gaps in service while you are still living in the home.

Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.

Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.

If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.

Full-service movers provide all the necessary packing supplies and materials—saving you time and money. In addition, long-distance moving companies have special blankets and padding to move heavy, bulky items. Full-service movers will pack and unpack your belongings quickly and safely and dispose of all the packing materials, including recycling cardboard boxes. 

To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.

Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.

On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.

Not all furniture needs to be disassembled. Smaller items or pieces that are easily transportable might not require disassembly. You only need to worry about assembling large pieces, like a sofa, in order to fit through existing door frames and hallways. Before you disassemble anything, take measurements of your furniture and talk to your moving company about what should be taken apart prior to moving.
